Warm and Creamy Bacon Dip


While looking for appetizer recipes for my Appetizers and Desserts Buffet Christmas Party, I happened upon this recipe on the Daisy Brand sour cream website and loved the name of it! What is not to love about a dip with bacon and the words "warm and creamy"? Although I used other recipes for my party, I decided to try this one on New Year's Eve.

Hubby declared it good, but both of us thought it would be better cold. We tried it with a variety of chips and French bread slices, but it was best with Fritos!

Warm and Creamy Bacon Dip

8 ounces cream cheese, softened (I used low-fat)
2 cups sour cream (and I did use Daisy Brand--it's my favorite)
3 ounces bacon bits
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup green onion, chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Place the mixture in a 1-quart baking dish. Cover. Heat the dip for 25-30 minutes or until hot. Serve with assorted fresh vegetables, crackers and/or chips.

*Serving option: Dip may also be placed in hollowed round sourdough loaf, wrapped in foil and heated in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

I think you'll enjoy it, Dishy! You might even try it with Manchego cheese. :)
